mainly the TPT trail but we do make a few deviations which take us over a field, include a steep climb out of Oxspring, and a bit of residentail street riding near Silkstone.

What3Words meeting point locator is - https://w3w.co/blues.blatantly.giving The weather forecast for the morning looks fine so we've decided to do a new to us route from Tankersley to Silkstone and pay a visit to The Potting Shed Cafe. Uses mainly TPT trails, maybe a bit of mud n puddles along the way :)

We start off with a ride across a damp wet & maybe muddy foeld, then the TPT to Wortley, Oxspring, Silkstone, then a bit of residential street riding before hitting the TPT again to Worsbrough, Wombwell, Elsecar, and back to Tankersley.

The Potting Shed cafe at Silkstone, and maybe a cafe at Elsecar.

Always wear a helmet and suitable clothing for the weather conditions. Please ensure you have a spare inner tube to suit your wheel size and carry a puncture repair kit along with some means of re inflating your tyre. You’ll need to bring a means of payment for the café stops or bring your own drink and snack with you.

If this is your first time of riding with us please be assured you’ll be very welcome and we’ll be happy to have you join us. You’ll need to be used to riding uneven and mixed surfaces across country on tracks paths & trails, and you should not be afraid of getting a bit muddy or bothered about a bit of overgrown vegetation. We aim to make our rides fun, we like to explore off road routes and we always muck in if anyone needs any help or repairs etc. No need to be nervous, we don’t bite and we’ll do our best to make you feel part of the ride group 
